Catch a glimpse of Funimation's latest releases.

By IGN Staff

It's 2008 and that means there are plenty of new anime releases to check out from your local retailer! That's where we come in. In addition to reviewing the latest anime, we'll also provide you with a feature called "Trailer Mania!". Anime publishers frequently craft trailers to hype their products, and we gather them here so you can get a glimpse of shows yourself to be better informed about what's out there.

This time around we have trailers for Fullmetal Alchemist, Mushi-Shi, Suzuka and Hell Girl. Stay tuned to IGN for the latest episodes, clips, trailers, reviews and features!

Suzuka Vol. 6

A new goal requires a new game plan, and Yamato has become a far cry from his former self! Purpose and drive, dedication and determination – One would think the young man finally worthy of Suzuka's affections… As Yamato takes training to new levels of obsession, as he improves – second by painstaking second – little else matters to the reformed runner as he prepares to take on the fates. But somewhere between the starting pistol and the finish line, Yamato's solid start leaves him lagging far behind! Echoing the fates he so recklessly challenged, Suzuka cannot take it anymore and races away into the night… There's simply no competing with the past! Love may not be a spectator sport, but this last sprint is definitely worth the watch!

Hell Girl Vol. 3

Beyond the veil of midnight lies a website, HellCorrespondence.com. Type in the name of one upon which you desire retribution… And it will be served.

If you truly desire to take revenge upon those who have wronged you, just untie the scarlet thread from the totem's neck. Pulling this thread will bind you into a covenant with Ai Enma, who will ferry the soul of your tormentor straight into the depths of Hell. However, once vengeance has been served, you will have to deliver on your end of the bargain. There always has to be a price to pay. When you die, your soul will also belong to Hell. You will never know the joys of Heaven. The decision rests with you.

Mushi-Shi Vol. 5

Neither good nor evil, they are life in its purest form. Vulgar and strange, they have inspired fear in humans since the dawn of time and have, over the ages, come to be known as "mushi."

1. Empty heads and floating souls, love fades fast. Like the stars, ever present though unseen. When the desire to be human is less than the pull of the other, the wedding will have a groom but no bride.

2. A woman bearing the mark of generations, cursed to drown in a sea of written characters. The forbidden sealed away within her body. Where tales of death abound, compassion will flourish.

3. A monster that can mimic the human, the shapeless taking on the form of infancy. That which is beyond our understanding can quickly learn to understand us. Therein lies the danger.

4. Life's inevitable end, reduced to no more than a passing moment. Loved ones forever reborn. When the mother becomes daughter and daughter mother, what of the wisdom of life eternal?

Fullmetal Alchemist Season 2 Pt. 1

Deep within the confines of a secret State laboratory Ed's morality will be put to the ultimate test, even as elsewhere Al is left to battle for both his life and his sanity. As rumors of military corruption and conspiracy draw others into the investigation, those closest to the Elrics look to suffer the most.
